Warhorse Studios hit by an undetailed cybersecurity incident
Warhorse Studios disclosed a serious cybersecurity incident involving unauthorized access to its systems and data, with investigations and remediation underway.
Warhorse Studios, the developer behind Kingdom Come: Deliverance and an unannounced Lord of the Rings RPG, announced a cybersecurity incident affecting its systems and data. The studio described the attack as serious but did not provide details on the full scope or impact. Warhorse confirmed unauthorized access to company systems and data, prompting immediate action to secure operations and assess the breach.
Warhorse CEO Martin Frývaldský stated the incident is a serious matter for the studio and those affected. The company’s top priority is securing systems, determining the breach’s extent, and protecting employees, partners, and the community. Frývaldský emphasized dedicating resources to address the situation and pledged further updates as they become available.
The studio is collaborating with cybersecurity experts to manage the incident and restore normal operations. Warhorse is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fellowship Entertainment, which itself is a spin-off of Embracer Group. The company has not disclosed whether customer data, internal projects, or employee information was compromised in the attack.
Cyberattacks on game studios can have wide-ranging consequences, including exposure of payroll data or internal development files. The incident follows a 2024 attack on Pokémon developer Game Freak, which exposed employee data and unannounced game plans. Warhorse has not confirmed if its breach reached a similar scale or involved comparable data.
